Initiate the timing cycle, then terminate it after exactly τ seconds = 6.283185 s.

Permitted deviation: ±0.020 s. Candidates counting aloud will not receive partial credit.

Target interval: 6.283185 s Tolerance: ±20 ms Measurement source: high-resolution monotonic clock Visual display: advisory only The sweep hand traverses 0 → 2π radians in τ seconds, completing one nominal revolution at the target interval. The live display is rounded for presentation; assessment uses the underlying high-resolution interval.

Human concepts such as “about six seconds” have no standing in this assessment.
Precision timing required
Archive note: Surviving records indicate that human applicants commonly improved rapidly during repeated attempts, then continued well beyond the point at which this remained a rational use of their time.
